Interface tab for multiple ports

The Interface tab shows the basic configuration and status of the selected ports.

To view or edit the Interface tab for multiple ports:

1. Select the ports that you want to edit.

[Ctrl] + left-click the ports that you want to configure. A yellow outline appears around the selected ports.

2. Do one of the following:
• From the shortcut menu, choose Edit.
• From the Device Manager main menu, choose Edit > Port.
• On the toolbar, click Edit.

The Port dialog box for multiple ports opens with the Interface tab displayed.

Field Description Index A unique value assigned to each interface. The value ranges between 1 and 255. Descr Type of switch and number of ports. Type Media type for this interface. Mtu Size of the largest packet, in octets, that can be sent or received on the interface. PhysAddress MAC address assigned to a particular interface. AdminStatus Current administrative state of the interface, which can be one of the following: up down When a managed system is initialized, all interfaces start with AdminStatus in the down state. AdminStatus changes to the up state (or remains in the down state) as a result of either management action or the configuration information available to the managed system. OperStatus Current operational state of the interface, which can be one of the following: up down testing If AdminStatus is up, then OperStatus should be up if the interface is ready to transmit and receive network traffic. If AdminStatus is down, then OperStatus should be down. It should remain in the down state if and only if there is a fault that prevents it from going to the up state. The testing state indicates that no operational packets can be passed. LastChange Value of the time the interface entered its current operational state. If the current state was entered prior to the last reinitialization of the local network management subsystem, the value is zero. Speed The estimate bandwidth of the interface in bits per second (bps). For interfaces that do not vary in bandwidth or have no way to estimate the bandwidth, this object should contain the nominal bandwidth. If the bandwidth of the interface is greater than the maximum value reported by the object, then the object displays its maximum value (4,294,967,295). For a sub-layer that has no concept of bandwidth, the object should be zero. AutoNegotiate Indicates whether the port is enabled (checked) for autonegotiation or not. AdminDuplex The current administrative duplex mode of the port (half or full). OperDuplex Indicate current duplex value of the port. AdminSpeed Set the speed of a port: none, mbps10, mbps100, and mbps1000 OperSpeed The current operating speed of the port. MltId The MultiLink Trunk to which the port is assigned (if any).
